What kind of crap is this?
Fitzgibbons [the defending lawyer] said in July that plea negotiations had broken off because prosecutors insisted on prison time, which he said would be too dangerous for someone as attractive as Lafave.
I really hope that didn’t have anything to do with the judge’s desicion… would be a very sad day for the judicial system.
And you’ve really gotta wonder about some of these cases… I know the kid is 14 and all… but did anyone actually ask his opinion on what happened? Did this incedent actually do more pshycological harm to anyone other than ruining an (already broken) marrage and make someone look like a pervert?Does this even effect the sentance? I’m not condoning having an affair with someone who is possibly young enough to be your son (although not in this case…25-14=11…you get the point)… I think anyone who does have one is a pretty fucked up person…but I do wonder if some of these sex-related laws (such as strip club restrictions) are in place to serve as an example to the rest of society of what the lawmakers think is “right” or “moral” rather than actually keep people safe.

Well i think its dumb and annoying when people try to plead insanity, in most cases you have to be insane to do what your doing, but more reason to lock your ass up longer. As for the many sexual related laws, i think most are in place to prevent things escilating and have things like rape happen.
